I'm trying to get DL running on a Lex CV860A which is standard mini ITX based board. http://www.lex.com.tw:8080/product/CV860A.htm I want to run from a Compact Flash which I created easily using the install-on-usb script. The system boots but as soon as the initrd file finishes loading the box resets! To ensure I haven't done anything silly I connected a IDE CD-rom drive and made a standard CD boot disk and this too reboots as soon as the initrd file has completed loading. Any ideas on how to work out what's going wrong? Thanks Richard |

I currently have a test compile running for something else. I wonder if it's "safe" (or it will cause us other problems)? See the warning at the end of the help screen for that kernel option: CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN If you have a SCSI device that supports more than one LUN (Logical Unit Number), e.g. a CD jukebox, and only one LUN is detected, you can say Y here to force the SCSI driver to probe for multiple LUNs. A SCSI device with multiple LUNs acts logically like multiple SCSI devices. The vast majority of SCSI devices have only one LUN, and so most people can say N here and should in fact do so, because it is safer. - BS |

I don't think the echo to /proc will work for bootup since that will have to be done before any rc scripts are executed. It sounds like the best option is to turn on the kernel option.

I'm obviously for it. BTW I tried to check if I'm right by a workaround. = In the linux-usb.org FAQ I found this: "You can either recompile your kernel with this option enabled or (if = your distribution supports this) add the following line to = /etc/modules.conf; options scsi_mod max_scsi_luns=3D15 If you do not want to do this for all SCSI devices then you can tell the = kernel to scan for a specific device using; echo >/proc/scsi/scsi "scsi add-single-device 0 0 0 1" The first zero is the host id (so it is zero if this is your first = "SCSI" adapter, check "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" to see which is your USB = Storage device), the second the channel (which for usb-storage should = always be zero I believe), the third is the target (which again is = always 0 for usb-storage) and the last is the LUN. LUN 0 is the only one = probed if this kernel option is off, so you'd need to repeat this = command as root for every media type your device accepts increasing the = LUN number." The first solution does not seem to work, because DL cries out that = /etc/modules.conf is more recent than = /lib/modules/2.4.31-grsec/modules.dep. Also there was no difference in = the /dev/scsi structure. So I gone the other way: I executed the following commands: echo >/proc/scsi/scsi "scsi add-single-device 0 0 0 1" echo >/proc/scsi/scsi "scsi add-single-device 0 0 0 2" echo >/proc/scsi/scsi "scsi add-single-device 0 0 0 3" Voil=E1, I inserted the CF card and it works, under = /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun1 I found part1 and mounted it under = /floppy with no problem.

No, I did not. But I think it's a very solid assumption. See: http://www.linux-usb.org/FAQ.html http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~ggbaker/personal/cf-linux I'm not even sure if CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN is turned off in the DL kernel, that's why asked you.

I'm not really an expert but as far as I know the USB modules are emulating a SCSI bus. For ex. If I plug in my flash drive I find it under /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1. The problem is that if the CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN option is turned off, the SCSI modules will not scan ANY target devices for multiple logical units (luns). Usually this is not a problem since in most cases a SCSI device contains only one logical unit (a hard drive or a CD). Multiple LUNs are used in for example CD changers (remember those beauties? :) ) In this case the USB device (which is represented by the target number) contains multiple devices (four separate card reader devices for the four slots) which should be represented by separate lun ids. For ex.: /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0 /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun1 /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun2 /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun3 would refer to the different slots of the card reader. If the CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN option is turned off you will see only: /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0 which represents the first (whichever it is) slot of the card reader. In my case it was the SD/MMC card reader part of my device, the other three slots (CF, Memory Stick and Smart Media) were simply ignored. In my opinion the CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN option is usually disabled because it can slow down the device scanning process at boot time and it was only useful in the past for very few devices like the CD changers mentioned above. Problem is that nowdays you will find more and more so called "composite" USB devices like card these readers, notebook "docking" devices (PS/2 keyboard and mouse device, USB HUB, serial, parallel port and ethernet controller built together in one box), webcams with audio interface, All-in-one printer/scanner/fax devices and so on.

I'm not really an expert but as far as I know the USB modules are emulating a SCSI bus. For ex. If I plug in my flash drive I find it under /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1. The problem is that if the CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN option is turned off, the SCSI modules will not scan ANY target devices for multiple logical units (luns). Usually this is not a problem since in most cases a SCSI device contains only one logical unit (a hard drive or a CD). Multiple LUNs are used in for example CD changers (remember those beauties? :) ) In this case the USB device (which is represented by the target number) contains multiple devices (four separate card reader devices for the four slots) which should be represented by separate lun ids. For ex.: /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0 /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun1 /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun2 /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun3 would refer to the different slots of the card reader. If the CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN option is turned off you will see only: /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0 which represents the first (whichever it is) slot of the card reader. In my case it was the SD/MMC card reader part of my device, the other three slots (CF, Memory Stick and Smart Media) were simply ignored. In my opinion the CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN option is usually disabled because it can slow down the device scanning process at boot time and it was only useful in the past for very few devices like the CD changers mentioned above.

I have tried a couple of brands, most recently PQI, that need a full,hard, poweroff reboot to work correctly-- soft resets flip the flashdrive out and DL never finds the device again (and the flashdrive led flashes incessantly)... until the next power cycle.

Hi there! A few months ago I tried to discuss something similar in the thread: [Devil-Linux-discuss] USB Card Reader and CF for config storage --- has anyone tried this? It was about using an x in 1 USB card reader and a CF card as a config storage, but DL failed to recognise the card in the reader. I think the reason was because the CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN option was not turned on in the kernel. I don't know if this has been changed since 1.2.6, because honestly I gave up on the problem at that time and used a HDD instead. But it would be great if this could be cleared up. As for your problem Martin, a CF card can be used in two ways: in an IDE to CF adaptor, in which case the CF is recognised by the system as an ordinary IDE HDD or in a USB card reader. I belive that despite my failure using the multi-slot card reader, a single slot USB CF reader could work (if there's only one slot in the reader, DL recognises it because it is the first "lun"), but if you want to boot from it, your mobo has to be capable of booting from USB devices.

Hello, We are running a few routers with Devil Linux. As one of them is located in a dusty environment we would prefer a Compact Flash card rather than CD-ROM/Diskette. Has someone already tried that? Is it possible without much reconfiguration? Thank you. -- R. Cirksena <ci...@ho...> Holmberg GmbH & Co. KG |

Hi,
I'm trying to configure wlan with a pci card 3com 3crdw696 (Intersil
prism chip)
but after two days it still not run.
I use the latest version of devil-linux
The pc with wlan card should be connect to an access point with
128 bit wep encryption enabled
I have set all parameters in wlan.conf and wlan-essidname
I tryed the same pci card with win98 and 3com driver and run ok
The best configuration ( near to run ) I made is:
1) set all wlan parameters in /etc/wlan (nothing in /etc/sysconfig/nic )
2) load manually prism2_pci module ( modprobe prism2_pci )
3) manually set up ip for wlan interface ( ifconfig wlan0 10.4.100.114
netmask 255.255.0.0 )
At this point iwconfig report a connection to access point, some
information about signal/noise quality, all ok in channnel, bit
rate,frequency
but an increasing value of "Rx invalid crypt"
and any ping test not run
Some questions
1) why is possible to configure wlan in /etc/sysconfig/nic, as show in
ifcfg-eth4.sample,
and in /etc/wlan
I tryed the first way but not run. The second way i better
what is the right way ?
2) Every time I used iwconfig I had an error
example: #> iwconfig wlan0 essid wlantest
SET failed on wlan0: function no implemented
Any help is welcome
Thanks a lot

I'm upgrading to DL V1.2.10 on my firewall PC and it seems to be having trouble keeping an LVM defined VG on the IDE hard drive to 'stick' across reboots. I have defined the 'devil-linux' volume group on the third physical partition of the hard drive (fdisk sees it as part3). I have several logical volumes such as swap, spool, squid, opt, home which were then formatted with mkfs.reiserfs or mkfs.ext3 as I thought would work best (excluding swap which was formatted with mkswap). All operations completed successfully. DL seems to mount the 'devil-linux' volume group at boot time, but any file or directory that I create under /var seems to disappear after a reboot. How can I verify that LVM is working OK, and fix it if it isn't? Is there a step missing in the web-online documentation for volume groups. I did vgscan and a save-config following LVM creations and LV updates. ---John. |

Dear Heiko, and other DL helpers, My problem, yes MY problem, is solved. Postmortem: During initial boot startup of any of the three (i486,i586,i686) V1.2.10 versions, the PC was finding a leftover, unintended copy of etctar.bz2 on the hard drive in a leftover partition that was id'd by DL as part1. The harddrive was going to be blown away, and supposedly only contained an NTFS partition, but apparently an old FAT32 partition was also on the drive and was scanned and found. Using a DOS boot disk allowed me to rename the etctar.bz2 MSDOS filename to something that can't be mistaken for a config package file by DL. The longish string device id of the hard drive (/dev/bus/lu/part) was too similar to the CD-ROM id and I simply didn't notice the difference as the messages flew by... After all, what could possibly go wrong at that point in the boot? Answer: Plenty! Many thanks that you are all there to help when the unusual errors happen. -John. |
